Money - Miniseries (2010)

A fable of excess and flawed ambition, Money, based on the book by Martin Amis, takes a sharp look at the corrupting nature of capitalism and greed. It is 1981 and Londoner John Self - a successful director of commercials, a hedonist, and usually drunk - is invited to New York by film producer Fielding Goodney in order to shoot his first film. But things are not straightforward. Self's cast of acting legends and up-and-coming stars find their egos and emotional issues aggravated by the roles they've been given; back home, his father is invoicing him for his childhood and Self is starting to suspect his girlfriend, Selina, is cheating.
